Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!" , it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.

So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 Breguet models handled by Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store) in the second half of 2024! Please enjoy reading the article while imagining the rankings together with us.

5th place

Type XXI "Ref.3817ST/X2/3ZU"

In fifth place is the Ref. 3817ST/X2/3ZU, which was added to the lineup in 2016 as part of the fifth generation Type XXI series that began around 2004.

This watch has a strong vintage feel with large Arabic indexes on the slate gray dial and luminous paint that looks like it has changed over time. It is equipped with the Cal.584Q/2 movement with a flyback function. This is the first Type XXI model with a see-through back, so you can see the gold rotor with its beautiful guilloche engraving from the back. It also has a day/night indicator and date display, making it an extremely practical watch.

4th place

Classic "Ref. 5177BB/2Y/9V6"

Coming in fourth place is the "Classic" Ref. 5177BB/2Y/9V6, which features a beautiful Grand Feu enamel dial and a deep blue color known as Breguet blue.

The dial has a simple design, but if you look closely, you will see that the minute index is decorated with diamonds, stars, and lilies, and the secret Breguet signature is written at the 6 o'clock position on the dial, giving a glimpse of Breguet's attention to detail. The movement is the same as the Classique, which ranked 4th, and is equipped with the in-house "Cal.777Q" that uses a silicon escape wheel and anchor, and the beautiful movement with guilloche engraving and pera rouge decoration can be seen through the see-through bag. It is recommended for those looking for an elegant watch that can be worn both on and off the job.

3rd place

Marine II Chronograph "Ref.5827BR/Z2/5ZU"

Coming in third place is the "Marine II Chronograph" (Ref. 5827BR/Z2/5ZU), a sports model that inherits the brand's traditions, such as Breguet hands, which are one of the brand's most distinctive features, and hand-carved guilloche engraving on the dial that evokes the swirls of the sea.

The Marine was created taking inspiration from the legacy built by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the manufacturer of marine chronometers for the French Navy, and the decorations, such as the guilloche that evokes the sea and the rotor that evokes waves, are hand-carved one by one by artisans, and are finished in the Breguet style down to the smallest detail. With a neat design, high visibility, and elegant details, it is also sturdy enough to withstand everyday use, making it an all-purpose watch that can be used both on and off the job.

2nd place

Marine II "Ref.5817ST/92/5V8"

Coming in second place is the stainless steel "Marine II" Ref. 5817ST/92/5V8.

This watch features a unified silver and black color scheme with Roman indexes and a rubber strap, making it a classic, sporty, and highly visible model. The see-through case back allows you to view the automatic movement "Cal. 517GG ", which boasts a power reserve of approximately 65 hours, so we recommend that watch lovers take a look at it. The moderate case size of 39mm, which is popular with everyone, and the rubber strap make this a watch that is extremely comfortable to wear.

1st place

Marine II Large Date "Ref. 5817ST/12/5V8 "

Taking the honorable first place is the "Marine II Large Date" model with a case diameter of 39mm, which was discontinued in 2018, "Ref. 5817ST/12/5V8".

This refreshing and luxurious SS (stainless steel) model features a silver dial with blue hands and indexes, and is equipped with the "Cal. 517GG" movement, with a power reserve of approximately 65 hours, which is sufficient for everyday use. The current "Marine" model has a larger case diameter, so it is a perfect watch for Japanese people and those with slightly smaller wrists.

summary

What did you think?

In addition to the popularity of sporty models in recent years, I think this is the result of a certain demand for Breguet's classical models. Just wearing a Breguet watch gives us a different kind of prestige than other brands' models, and it has such a wonderful design. Why not take this opportunity to see it for yourself?

We hope this article will be helpful for your buying and selling. Please look forward to the next article and the ranking of the number of items handled!
